Question not just for you Straws, but UF is getting beat up pretty badly on the Rant about poor recruiting how does this stack up?

Also, I heard Mullen speak at our county Gator Booster club, and his philosophy of seeking out less than elite players came across loud and clear. He believes firmly that he'd rather have a 2, or 3 star player that has a chip on his shoulder and something to prove and will bust his butt to earn playing time than a team of 4 star primadonnas that don't feel they need to put in the effort. Does the board feel this plays into his current recruiting "slump"?

There is the problem that we had under Mac. UF needs to have a team of 4 and 5 star players with chips on their shoulders. That is what Bama has. Saban has built the program to find, get, and develop the most talented players.

2 and 3 stars on a overall basis are not as talented as 4 and 5 star players. There a few exceptions but they are exceptions that are rare enough to not beat Bama.

I do see Mullen going after 4 and 5 star players. They are showing up to campus. Just need them to sign for the good guys.

Thanks for the responses, I’m right there with ya. I do feel like the proof is in the pudding and it will take Mullen some time. This first season is much more important , in my opinion, than any other hire in my memory to get the ship righted asap. Winning and showing real progress right out of the gate is what will bring in 4 and 5 stars. I just hope he has it in him to hit the ground running and not let off the gas. Winning against Tennessee, USCe, and FSU and a close game against UGA will definitely set the right tone, no?
